Product Details
The GSO 1.25" 2x “Shorty” Achromatic Barlow Lens is an excellent tool for astronomers looking to get the most out of their existing eyepieces. Designed with fully multicoated, two-element lenses, it offers impressive color fidelity, image clarity, and brightness. The blackened edges on the lenses also help reduce light scatter, enhancing contrast for clearer views.
Crafted from precision CNC-machined aluminum, the Barlow boasts a high-quality build with a sleek finish. One of its standout features is the removable lens cell, which unscrews from the main tube. This allows you to attach the lens directly to any 1.25" eyepiece with standard filter threads, resulting in approximately 1.5x magnification. For instance, a 30mm eyepiece would function as a 20mm with the lens cell alone, and as a 15mm with the full Barlow assembly—offering three magnification options from one eyepiece.
The upper tube can also serve as a 36mm (1.4") extension tube when the lens element is removed, making it a multi-functional accessory for your setup.
